Re: PID How to hold an arm in a fixed position without a locking gear box

In the Good Practices manual, section G.6.3.1 V884 Speed Controllers it states "Only one large motor (CIM, Fisher-Price, Globe or similar motor should be controlled per speed controller". Didn't look, but there is probably a similar statement for the Spikes as well.
In any circumstance, the motors should be individually fused.
